Well this is an absolutely glowing review for the 06 Civic VTI.
Euro owners will recognise the issue in this paragraph below! Sounds like the Civic is using similar DBW parameters to the Euro.
"About the only engine glitch is a jerk which occurs when throttle is re-applied in fifth gear – this especially noticeable when the cruise control is operating and there are hills and valleys to negotiate."
Kudos to autospeed - their new car tests really are excellent.

ps. Is it just me or does the VTI-L seem like it is not worth the $3500 premium over the base model? The extras appear to beIf I was shopping I would take the base with aftermarket rims I think. But pity an alarm is not standard on the base - but I imagine a dealer fitted alarm is an easy extra at time of sale.
- 6-CD stacker (big deal - std still gets CD)
- Side airbags (nice to have in seat type - but not curtain airbags)
- Climate control (whoopi doo - base still gets DIY control air con)
- Alloy wheels (nice to have)
- Alarm (important to have)
